Anyone in Fairfield county CT takes the metro north quite frequently to NYC. It is much easier than dealing with traffic/driving. And further north in central CT they were considering expanding i-84 but this would have cost multiple times that of improving rail.

The efficiency of rail is much better than building massive multi-lane highways in densely populated regions, resulting in many bottlenecks and delays.

Here it will not work financially, unless you raise gas prices 3-4 times.

Just build the High Speed rail links with “side drive on” (very quick loading) car transport as they did for the England/France tunnel.

Think how much energy would be saved.
